Chapter 1189 All

Lina was pondering how to speak, when a man smiled behind him: "What are you thinking about, your heart is beating so fast?"

She turned her head to find Simon's cheek and kissed it in a pleasing manner. Lina simply untied the swimsuit that prevented the man from touching it and threw it aside. Then she said, "Simon, I've never heard of this director, so he shouldn't be famous, right?"

"yes."

"Then, do you think I can recruit him as my client?"

"You want to be Paul's assistant?"

"No, it's only temporary for Amy and Jesse to be assistants. I was originally a wma intern, and I will soon become an official manager."

Hearing Lena suddenly say this, it was just because Jessica Chastain, who had been delayed a little this weekend, didn't realize it, but Amy Adams was a little surprised, and couldn't help but look up from not far away. come over.

Simon lowered his head and looked at the round-faced girl whose body and skin in his arms made him a little fond of it, and said, "Do you like being an agent very much, or how about being a star?"

This time even Jessica pricked up her ears.

Someone said yesterday morning that she doesn't want to be a star, let's see how she responds now.

Lina shook her head without hesitation: "I don't want to, I still think the agent is good, and this is just the beginning of the career I planned for myself, and I won't be an agent forever in the future."

Simon looked very interested: "Tell me about it carefully?"

Lina said clearly: "I am 23 years old this year, and I hope to use 5 to 7 years to personally bring out a group of big names as an agent, at the same time establish my own network, and be familiar with all aspects of Hollywood film and television production, and then, at most 30 At 40 years old, trying to get into a major Hollywood studio, looking for a VP-level executive in charge of film and television production, and then, at 40, I hope to be a big producer like Amy Pascal and Shirley Lansing The head of the studio."

Simon smiled and said, "What if it doesn't come true?"

Unconsciously, Lina turned over and crouched on the man, and looked at Simon: "Then there is no way, it can only mean that I am unlucky, and it cannot mean that I have not worked hard."

"Yes," Simon nodded approvingly, thought for a moment, and asked, "Have you ever been to college?"

"I graduated from the USC Film School with a major in film and media studies. In four years of college, I only got 3 B's and 1 C's, and the others were all A's."

Simon was a little surprised. He thought that the two girls who served as assistants for Amy were probably from similar backgrounds as them. If that was the case, he would only laugh at what Lena said just now, and at most help a little. At this time, I really didn't expect, and I don't suspect that the girl in my arms is lying. After all, it's too easy to verify, so I said again: "It seems that you have already planned your life in college."

"yes."

"Then why did you come to be an assistant to Amy and the others?"

Lena leaned forward with crooked eyebrows and kissed the man's lips: "Isn't that the answer?"

Simon also reacted, smiled and hugged the girl and made out for a while, before touching the folder just dropped on Britney next to him: "In this case, I don't bother, this, Paul Greengrass, just be It's your test."

Lena turned over again and leaned against the man's arms, took the folder and opened it, asking, "Simon, what do I need to do?"

"You read the information first."

Lina nodded, leaning in the man's arms and flipping through it seriously and quickly.

First of all, I found that the 42-year-old Paul Greengrass in the data is also a top student and graduated from Cambridge University. He started out as a journalist and published a book exposing the MI6 scandal, and later moved into television, where he started shooting documentaries and TV series, and in the late 1980s he started to venture into film.

From some of the film and television projects completed by the other party, Lina judged that Paul Greenglass was good at non-fiction films adapted from real events, but he was in the same line as the other party's journalist background.

Documentary themes?

With her head focused here, Lena suddenly thought of Amy and Jessica's participation in the "Ghost Records" that was being released.

"Ghost Records" is a movie, but if you put aside the fictional elements, it is also a very documentary story.

Look at this director again.

Even if it's not a newcomer like Justin Lin, but at the age of 42, he is still in his early years, and it is basically the same.

Furthermore, if you are good at documentary themes, the video style should also be biased towards this, so it is also suitable to shoot pseudo-documentary movies with 'documentary themes'.

In the end, Lena also knew that the sequel to "Ghost Records" had been approved, and Jessica, who was about to be hired, would be the heroine, and Daenerys Entertainment, because of the importance attached to Justin Lin, obviously did not want the other party After the formalities, does that mean that Paul Greengrass is Simon's chosen director of the sequel?

I have to say that if Simon knew the thinking of the girl in his arms, even if the other party could not guess the truth, he would be surprised.

Because the direction is right.

After a while, after flipping through the information in her hand, Lina raised her head again and looked at the man behind her: "Simon, I think there is something wrong."

"Um?"

"The directors that Daenerys Entertainment has cultivated over the years, Michael Bay, Doug Liman, and most recently Justin Lin, they're all young, aren't they?"

"Yup."

"And this one," Lina raised the information in her hand: "Although he graduated from college, he has been in the film and television industry for more than ten years, and he has not yet published his own work.

His own reputation, don't you think that he may be mediocre? "

"..."

"Simon?"

"You're right, I'm thinking about how to refute it."

"Hehe," Lena followed Simon's example and threw the folder on Britney next to her, even though these girls just didn't make room for herself, and then turned herself over like an egg and leaned over the man. : "Simon, as long as you think it's okay, you don't need to explain to me, you just need to tell me what to do?"

"This," Simon grabbed one of the girl's small hands, and counted out three fingers, the fourth half out, and said, "Probably, in the first stage, Paul has three and a half months, now, let's test you , why only three and a half months?"

Exam questions?

The three pairs of girls around, who were silently envious and jealous because Lina was lovable, all started to think.

Although the fact was somewhat dissatisfied with what she imagined, Lina quickly straightened it out, and seemed to be able to hear the voices of the girls around her, smiling and facing the man in front of her: "Simon, if you don't give Amy and the others a chance, I'll say it too quickly. Come out, you may lose face."

"..."

Bitchi!

Simon was kind, and said to both sides with a smile: "Whoever answers first, give it to a heroine."

The girls suddenly became more energetic.

Britney next to her still pretended to be pitiful, no longer holding the "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in her hand, and copied it coquettishly like Lena: "Simon, what did you just ask for three and a half months, say it again? ?"

Britney asked, and among the six girls, Vanessa and Amy expressed their expectations, obviously hoping that Simon would say more.

Unfortunately no response was received.

I can only quickly recall the details of the man's words just now, racking my brains.

After a while, Jessica finally said: "Simon, three and a half months later, probably in mid-January next year, the Sundance Film Festival, right?"

“Bingo!”

Amy, who was leaning against Jessica, cried out angrily: "Sundance, ah ah, why didn't I think of it, I should have thought of it."

The other girls were also frustrated.

How could I not have thought of such a simple thing, three and a half months, push the time back three and a half months, think about what important things in Hollywood during that time, I will soon understand.

Really, so regretful that I want to go crazy.

Lina also glanced at Jessica, and she did not disappoint herself.

If it's another girl, she won't say much. Since it's Jessica, Lina doesn't want to be fooled by the man. She asked in a soft voice, "Simon, do you really want a reward now?"

"Of course, I have no habit of breaking my promises."

Simon said, pretending to think about it, Lina couldn't help but said: ""Ghost Story 2" doesn't count, and you just said the protagonist."

"It seems that you and Jessica have a good relationship," Simon joked, gesturing to the folder that Britney picked up and put aside: "It's there, I'm going to let Paul Greengrass do two things. The first film, the heroine of the second film, just give Jesse."

The other girls are envious.

Lina knew that she was a little eager just now, and this time she didn't get to the bottom of it, but said: "Then, Simon, let's continue for three and a half months, what will Paul Greengrass do?"

"Daenerys Entertainment's second pseudo-documentary film, probably about a teenage expedition to find witches, the script is still being developed. Your task is to find Paul Greengrass, convince him to join the project and serve as director Also, you only have up to three and a half months, because I want this film to go to the Sundance Film Festival."

The story of finding witches is naturally Blair the Witch.

This is Simon's temporary idea after reading Paul Greenglass's materials, and the more he thinks about it, the more feasible it is.

Paul Greengrass first worked as a reporter, and then, from the early 1980s, began to enter the TV industry to do TV series and documentaries. After so many years, his personal influence style can be imagined, not only suitable for "Public Enemy", "The Witch" who pursues pseudo-documentary effects. Blair, actually more fitting.

On the other hand, Simon actually needs to confirm.

As Lina said, even if it's just because I haven't encountered suitable opportunities in the past, Simon also hopes to give the other party a project to see for himself. Also convince other people, like Westinghouse, the investor in Public Enemy, and Jerry Bruckheimer, etc.

After all, Public Enemy had a budget of 70 million, not 7 million.

Let's make "Blair Witch" first, not to mention the box office, whether the film itself is good or not, whether it suits the style of Hollywood, everyone can actually see it.

If you give "Public Enemy to the People" to the other party, it will be a lot more logical.

Lena, who was lying on Simon, was also thinking.

Since Daenerys Entertainment's script has been perfected, three and a half months is more than enough to get Paul Greengrass done. After all, although the original "Ghost Story" took two months to complete, it was mainly because Justin Lin and several of the main creators carefully crafted the pursuit of the ultimate.

According to Lina's judgment, if it is not for the pursuit of excellence, "Ghost Records" can even be completed within ten days.

Of course, Lena wouldn't be stupid enough to let Paul Greenglass rush to work in the future.

Calculate carefully.

Today, October 5th, get the guarantee

Luo Greengrass, after perfecting the script and setting up the crew, if everything goes well, it can be completed in a month.

Then, filming started in early November, a pseudo-documentary. This time, it was slightly compressed, giving a month and a half, about 45 days, which was actually enough. The rest, there was still one month for the post-production, which was also more than enough. Even, at that time, even if the Sundance Film Festival starts, you can actually squeeze some more time.

Probably the first to sign up here, and Sundance to delay the response time in the second half, at least one more week.

In fact, many big directors have done this kind of thing. Sometimes they participate in film festivals, others have already opened, and the film here has not been completely completed, so they can only be dragged, and even the direct screening of semi-finished films is not impossible.

After sorting it out like this, Lena agreed, and finally asked something she was more curious about: "Then, Simon, what about the second project?"

"The second project," Simon smiled and hugged the girl tighter in his arms. "Let's not talk about this first, but let me reveal that the male protagonist is probably Harrison Ford."

Christina Aguilera exclaimed: "Wow, Han Solo."

Simon knocked on the girl's forehead, then glanced at Jessica, who had been leaning over her body, "Are you satisfied?"

Jessica smiled embarrassedly and nodded.

"In that case, go, go to the pool with Amy, and show me the hibiscus out of the water."

Of course Jessica knows what kind of hibiscus a man wants to see.

Probably the kind of lily that bloomed last night.

After all, it was daytime, so I was a little shy, but looking around, although I knew that there were actually a lot of people in the manor, but looking around, except for a few waitresses nearby, there was nothing else.

Think again about what men give themselves.

How many actresses in Hollywood dream of starring with Harrison Ford.

So get up quickly.

Amy was a little reluctant to be picked up by Jessica.

I didn't get the heroine myself.

However, just think about it.

He was still picked up by Jessica and walked towards the pool together.

Simon greeted the waitress not far away to bring a pillow to prop up her body a little, hugged Lena and looked at the pool scenery, patted Christina's head next to her, and asked with a smile, "Are you hungry?"

Christina wanted to say she wasn't hungry.

However, he reacted immediately, pretending to shrink his head pitifully: "Hungry."

Simon pushed the girl down: "If you're hungry, you have to eat."

Christina got up obediently, without any expectations, and said coquettishly: "Simon, then, do I have a heroine?"

"Yes, I have."

Christina's eyes lit up, knowing that men wouldn't lie to her, so she didn't hesitate.

Simon lifted Lena's petite body in his arms, and said to Britney on the other side, "You go too."

Britney, of course, also bargained: "Simon, my heroine?"

Simon knocked on the door of Ya's head, but said, "Go, there are all."
